Buying Antique Furniture

by RachaelFeild (Author)

Synopsis

This guide has been specifically designed to give all the essential information the buyer needs - quickly, simply and clearly. It shows readers how to assess a piece just as a dealer would and covers more than 50 designs in detail - the classic types that have been most influential and imitated, and those most likely to confront us in a shop or saleroom. The handbook is designed to show the changing styles of English furniture, and contains sections on country and cottage furniture, practice of repair, characteristics of different woods, as well as a useful glossary of terms.
